The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form OF
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in q
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.

It has got out hat whenever you sec a

they saw her. began looking for a white

A young department clerk met q

she asked.

Congressman Beriah Wilkins, Of
Ohio, got himself heavily ''stuck" for
25-cent cigars on what he thought was
going to be a smart trick. He wagered
a box of .'rerfectos'' cigars with a gem

street where he could see six heads of

six white horses in sight. The bet

Kitchen Walls.

There is q common notion that q
kitchen must be wainscoted for at least
three or four feet in height around the
Halls. and if we wish to be particularly
cor1set, we must have a dado Of
Ddtch tiles and a paneled ceiling.
There is no objection to tiles on the
score of CLEANLINESS, but a plastered
wall is, On may accounts preferable to a
wainscot Of wood. IF the morter ia
made of the best materials, put on as
plastering ought to be and thoroughly
painted, it will be less absorbent, more
impervious to vermin, and more easily
kept clean than any form of wooden
wainscot. It is only necessary to put
ones nose within the door of a .aii
clock that has stood for a few genera
tons in an old style kitchen, to appreci.
ate the absorbent quality of wood; the
outside of the case may be filled and
finished, gilGed and decorated, bur the
musty odors of antiquity will forever
haunt tine dark cavity in which the
big and little weights chase each othe.
up and down, ever as the scent of the
roses clings to q broken vase. A newly
finished wainscot of wood is sweet and
clean, but wait till the small cracks
begin to show and a smart rap on its sur.
face iiberates a small cloud of
lated dust. Doubtless the wood will bear
smart raps, thrusts Of the mop handle,
sharp corners of the furniture and other
attacks better than the plastering, but
with q band of wood or tiles at the
level of the tops of the tables and the
chair backs, there is no more rational
excuse for breaking the plastering on
the kitchen walls than in any other con
stantly occupied room. The weakness
of plastering is usually in the backing

The Famous Gems of Russia.

In the early part of the present
century the attention of biologists was
directed to Russia as a probable dia.

blance, in some of its natural feat

these gems were actually discovered
by Humboldt and Rose, on the west
side of the Uralian chain, in the gold.

There is no country e modern

THE LEDGER.
Admiral Courbet's Brain Food.

The following yarn was spun me
former mesSmates:
Some Years ago. when the hero of
Tonquin was a simple lieutenant, he
was detailed in company with half a
dozen sailors 10 explore a savage por
ton of the west African coast near
Dahomey. For days they had trav-
ersed the wilderness without meeting
anything in the shape of animal life
cave monkeys. squirrels, small birds,
and like game, too spry to admit OF
capture. Exhausted by fatigue and
famine, the little found itset
one day at eventide wandering help
lessly about in a jungle of outrageous
verdure. Suddenly n of the men
espied a hut, neatly ensconced in a
group of palms. Entering, they found
three negresses in the act of making
their painfully simple toilet. Having
eonciliated the swarthy forest nymphs
by the gift Of some glass beads, Cour-
bet demanded food. The dusky ''mai-
tresses de Ia maison" bestirred them
selves with generous zeal, and soon
produced some eggs, which Ole of the
sailors broke into a saucepan and
placed upon the fire.
Now, what shall we put with
them?" asked Courbet. 1--WE have
neither butter, lard, nor cheese"
Gazing around the hut, one of the
sailors espied a bunch of mushrooms
hanging on the wall.
In a twinkling the mushrooms were
seized upon and delivered to the cook
pro tenn, who speedily sliced them up
and flung them in the saucepan.
Upon beholding this brisk a%ppropri-
alton of their stores the three dusky
DANES gave a frightful screech, threw
themselves on their knees before Cour-
bet, and seemed by their gestures tc
implore the restitution of their mush-
rooms. Vain prayers.
In due time the omeles was cooked,
served, and eaten. Their hunger ap
peased, the unceremonious Gauls were
about taking leave of the victimized

took in the situation at a glance and
rushed upon Courbet and party, fero-
eiously brandishing their clubs. Cour-
bet lost no time in drawing his re-
volver, and his men followed suit.
Thus armed, they advanced threaten
ingly toward the Infatuated negroes,
who, finding themselves immensely in
the minority, hastily modified their
maneuyers, while the father of the
flock stammered out a few words of
mangled English by way of explana-
ton.
Horrible revelation! From the
words of this old cannibal Courbet
learned that the supposed mushrooms
were no mushrooms at all, but simply
human brains which the provident
housewife was drying in the sun
against a rainy day.
Courbet acknowledged afterward
that he had never eaten so sayory an
omelet. Albeit the immediate effects
were disastrous.-Detron Free Press.
